“Liking other people is an illusion we have to cherish in ourselves if we are to live in society.”
― John Fowles, The Magus

“Our worst fear isn't the end of life but the end of memories.”
― Tom Rachman, The Imperfectionists

“Is there anybody who would like to have written on his forehead a record of the places where he has slept? We are all innocent, in the end, and all guilty. We move blindly toward our sins, and the things we do and the things we suffer for don't have much to do with each other. In the end there's no justice: the universe is not an auditing firm. Would we like it better if it were? If we had to pay for everything, down to the last cruelty, the last fornication, the last harmless lie? Let's leave the dark places where they are.”
― MacDonald Harris, Mortal Leap

“When you died I mourned you, but also the version of myself I was with you.”
― Gus Moreno, This Thing Between Us
